Happy Stamper's New Catalog Blog Hop

Hello!
Welcome to our blog hop, thanks for stopping by.

I have one sweet baby card to share with you and a Masculine card that would make a nice card for a birthday or Father's Day.

For the baby card I used the new baby stamp set, Something for Baby. This set is very sweet and the new word set, Something to Say, coordinates with it perfectly. I love it! I also used the new decorative heart mask. It comes in a set along with a star mask. I lightly sponged the entire front with hearts and on the inside I chose to sponge the hearts just along the bottom edge. The mask brings a design element from the front of the card to the inside of the card and is the perfect finishing touch! I used a 2010 Mojo Monday Sketch (#147) to create the layout for this card.

For the second card I made a Masculine card using the stamp set, Travelers. I also used the new Maritime Designer Series Paper. To bring the design from the front to the inside, for that perfect finishing touch, I added a strip of the Maritime Designer Series Paper along the bottom edge. I also used a 2010 Mojo Monday Sketch for this card. Can you tell I like to try Mojo Monday Sketches? I like to enter their weekly challenges, but I also like to go to their archives, choose a layout and design a card around it. There are years of layouts to choose from.

One of my lucky blog readers will receive this Decorative Dots embossing folder and a 6" x 6" stack of retired Designer Series Papers.

Thank you Rachel.:) I was wondering if I would use them much, but now that I have created a few cards with them I really do like the idea that I can use them inside too! I recommend that you get them and start playing with them, I think you will enjoy the new design possibilities.

Glad to find your Blog today. I followed along the Hop from Amy K's blog. Your work is beautiful and I now will check your posts often. And thanks for offering the blog candy too. I do love that embossing folder and would love to win it. Thanks you. Kay V

Thanks Babe. Some stamp sets just SCREAM masculine and it is hard to go wrong with them. The Traveler stamp set would be a great addition for you if you are going to make some masculine cards and want some inspiration. You can check my Travelers stamp set board out on Pinterest at www.pinterest.com/stampwithtrude

Thanks Barbara. I used Night of Navy to stamp the ship and then sponged Coastal Cabana lightly above the ship for the clouds and heavier along the bottom for the water. Then I sponged a little Night of Navy along the bottom of the ship to simulate a shadow. The red was applied with a Real Red Stampin' Write marker.

About Me

I became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator at the end of 2011, but I have been crafting and stamping for many years.
My mother and her mother are/were into crafts, sewing, quilting, needle arts and passed the love of arts and crafts on to me and some of my siblings.
I am also an elementary school teacher. I guess that is why I like to share my interest in crafts with others!
